My next door neighbors are PCSing to Germany soon and yesterday and today I have been keeping their two year old daughter so that they could pack their suitcases and so the movers could pack up their household belongings. I have no problem at all keeping this little girl. She is at my house a lot, she and Monkey play beautifully together, and I love her like she is one of my own. That being said, today I am feeling a little used. Yesterday she was here from about 10 in the morning until after 5 and today she was here from 9 until after 5 again. I agreed to keep her, didn’t run the errands that I needed to run because I only have one car seat, and made Monkey miss two days of dance, because I wanted to help out my neighbor. So, tonight, when my neighbor picked her up, she told me that she, her husband, their little girl, and another neighbor were going out to dinner. I’m not trying to be petty, but hello, I’ve had her child for two days, all day, and they can’t invite us to dinner? This is not the first time that something like this happened with these people, and I just let it go and go because I don’t like confrontation. I try to be nice and help out people whenever I can because that’s really what it’s all about, but then I get walked on, and I’m really tired of it. I can vent about it, but I can’t tell the people that have hurt me that they’ve done so, even though I wish I could. So, anyway, thanks for listening.
